What The Buck
August 10, 2010
Hi-ho! It's Number 1 again. You know, lately, maybe due to hunting season (wait, when IS hunting season?) we've seen an influx of deer cakes. Now, sure, the customers got a raw deal with these wrecks, but as an animal-lover I think it's also important to see things from the deer's perspective.
Take this guy. Here he was, minding his own business, when someone came along and punched him in the eye!
Poor defenseless little creat.... wait, is that a cupcake cake? Gimme your rifle.
Just think of how difficult it must have been for this cross-eyed deer to see his way out of the forest fire:
"My rack! My rack! My rack is on fi-yurrr!"
(Why am I suddenly craving roasted almonds?)
And do you know how hard it is for poor Stumpy here to navigate the forest underbrush on a Roomba?
Frankly, my deer, it sucks.
Our next friend is just swell:
Somebody get Puffy here a Benadryl.
So, the next time you're faced with a wrecky deer cake, don't be so quick to judge. They've been through a lot, what with hunters and fires and allergic reactions and earthquakes and killer bee swarms... so can we just vow to leave these vulnerable deer alone??
OMG, wait. This one looks delicious.
Fudgy icing, angel hair pasta, and raspberry jam? That's great taste and execution!
Thanks, Marisa W., Terri C., Bonnie, cewest84, and Zephyr! If you ever hoof it over to my side of town, give me a rein! You're all I really caribou, and I promise not to leave you stag! (Not really. Please don't call me.)

Puffy looks like an alien grey hybrid. Made me choke on my lunch :)
@Altiloquence, maybe that's what the Greys have been up to with all those experiments. They would have done everyone a big favor by removing all the blood from that last deer.
You know, despite Puffy needing some allergy meds stat, he's the best out of this wrecky, wrecky bunch.
And that's saying something. Yikes. Wouldn't want 'bloody deer' around children. "Mommy, why is Bambi's mother bleeding???" Scarred for life in three, two...
Is that a plastic deer on the one?
And Puffy looks like an alien... Just saying. It's creepy.
I can tell you had a lot of fawn coming up with today's commentary. None of these cervid cake catastrophes look like they were worth the doe they must have cost.
(I would go on, but I just don't have the hart to make any more deer puns...)
Puffy reminds me of either an ewok or a gremlin.
AHHHHH...that Benedryl deer is freaking me out. It looks like it was abducted by aliens and then came back to earth for revenge on the humans.
OMG you just gave me flashbacks! A real-life relative of one of those little jerks depicted in cake here in this posting caused me to total my car back in college! Grrrrrrr

The middle cake is clearly not a deer, but the elusive rat-a-lope.

Field and Stream recommends hiding the wound for the photograph. They suggest foliage.
The first deer looks like a dog and two white boomerangs
That 4th one down looks like a monkey with antlers.
Stumpy looks like the deer i hit with my truck!
This is by far my FAVORITE!!! I laughed so hard at every comment, that my husband had to check on me! Keep up the good work!!!!
Okay, I chuckled at cake #1. The idea of punching a deer in the eye is just inherently humorous. I laughed out loud at Stumpy, poor Stumpy and his Roomba. I completely LOST it at "Somebody get Puffy here a Benadryl."
It's your fault that my mascara now makes ME look like cake #1.
